I haven't seen a collection of "first start" videos posted anywhere, so consider this the thread to post them in. Engine type or duration of run doesn't matter, just so long as it was running under FreeEMS and is on video.

Stating a little bit about the context would be useful. Here's my entry as an example:

FreeEMS engine #23: ToxicGumbo's 2RZ-FE Tacoma, first start at 9:45AM Central US in Manhattan, KS (USA) on September 22, 2013. Running off a Jaguar A3 board.

FreeEMS engine #11: DeuceEFI's GM 3100 v6 in a 1932 Ford 5 window coupe, first run March 13, 2012 using the very first Jaguar A3 PCB.

FreeEMS engine #16: DeuceEFI's GM 2200 4 cylinder in a 1996 Chevrolet S10 pickup, first run November 20, 2012 using the only Jaguar A2 PCB in existence. The single sided PCB was etched at home.

FreeEMS engine #25: Matthijs' Peugeot 309 with a 2.0 Turbo, first start at begin november, 2013. Running off a DIY contraption. Typing this date makes my eyes watery for being such a slow fart making any progress with the Jaguar 0.7 board, or with anything at all.

Great idea, Jeff! I stickied it a few days ago, but just got around to finding some links for you!

Some of mine:

First drive of first FreeEMS car. Not really first start, but close enough for that particular car: #1 Volvo 740 wagon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHof0v0TQfM

First start on new scheduler on #2 the ute, probably the single most exciting one for me, as you can hear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fzr1TXJWQwE

Not the first start, nor the first drive, but early on in the Hotel's career as a FreeEMS development hack, #3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ycjg8DFmZk

Wife's Seat Ibiza: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edENcjTUVOg



Corbon won't be posting a first start video of his R33, because it started by accident when we weren't expecting it to and weren't ready, lol :-D
